The 2004 El Bugader is made from 100% Syrah. It shows all the symptoms of first-class Syrah with its opaque/purple color, and smoky, meaty, bacon-like aromas, and even a bit of truffle. On the palate the wine is rich with additional blackberry and blueberry flavors emerging. The wine is structured for another 3-5 years of cellaring and should drink well for a decade. Montsant, a relatively new D.O., surrounds the famous D.O. of Priorat southwest of Barcelona. Joan d’Anguera is a family estate dating back 200 years.
